Well, what can I say about this place? It is hard to describe their Riad in words. It is breathtaking! It is like a royal palace. There are rooms everywhere that you can enjoy as a guest. They are so elegant and impressive. Nothing short of regal.

We had breakfast brought to us each morning on the roof top terrace. Such an amazing way to start the day.
Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Authenticity & Character
An amazing place. Words don’t do it justice.
Location
This is probably the only downside to this Riad. You have to walk into the Medina through the market area which is a bit crowded and busy. You walk about 5 mins to get to the Riad as cars cannot get in to the Medina.

So helpful and polite

Special thanks to Mr Mohamed Aït Bouskri for taking his time to greet us and to show us his Moroccan Art Gallery and explaining the meaning of the different art, the reason of the shapes and colors. We really appreciate how special this made us feel. Again thank you for sharing so much knowledge with us.
